New Ships - French Destroyers in Closed Test 13.4
A new fleet of ships is gearing up to undergo testing in Update 13.4, featuring the all-new French Destroyers tech tree line! in this post we will give you an initial glimpse into their historical background and gameplay characteristics.

French Destroyers
Tier V and Above:
The new French destroyer line starts from Tier V and includes six ships.
All-Round Capabilities:
These destroyers are designed to be versatile, with good main battery and torpedo armaments.
Torpedo Strength:
The torpedoes on these ships are particularly strong, with high base damage, speed, and range.
Main Battery:
The main guns offer reasonable damage per minute and solid shell damage.
Survivability:
A unique saturation mechanic allows these destroyers to take reduced damage after a certain threshold, enhancing their durability.
Emergency Engine Power:
This consumable provides a short burst of high speed, similar to the Ragnar’s ability.
However, there are trade-offs:
Torpedo Damage Drop-off:
The torpedoes lose damage over distance, dealing high damage up to 6 kilometers, then diminishing.
Main Battery Ballistics:
The shell ballistics are poor, making long-range engagements challenging.
Speed and Smoke:
These ships have a lower base speed and no access to the Smoke Generator consumable.
For gameplay:
Close-Range Combat:
The design encourages close-range, surprise attacks.
Short Skirmishes:
They excel in brief confrontations, thanks to their saturation mechanic and Emergency Engine Power.
Avoid Prolonged Battles:
Extended fights can be risky without consumables available.
